【Chapter 45 - Patrol】Why don't you stay overnight when you kiss your relatives?

"I knew you would come to see the lotus lantern, and I should have stayed on the other side before." Duan Baiyue said, "The horizon is broader. ”

"It's not a little doll watching the lantern festival, you must squeeze to the front to see it clearly." Chu Yuan looked at him with a smile, "You said it yourself, the palace is too stuffy, just come out to breathe." ”

This is the most lively street in the royal city, even if the windows are half-covered, you can still hear the noise below, the steaming sugar and oil cake is fried in the pot, and the aroma immediately rises to the second floor, full of sweet fragrance.

"Eat?" Duan Baiyue asked.

Chu Yuan nodded: "Hmm." ”

"Wait for me." Duan Baiyue got up and walked out.

Duan Yao said in the eyes next door, "I want to eat too." "How do you smell good?

"Obedient, patient." Nan Mo Xie continued to lie on the wall, stretching out a hand and patting his head, "Wait until Master takes you downstairs to eat hot food." ”

Chu Yuan stood by the window, watching Duan Baiyue walk through the street, huddle together with a group of little dolls to buy sugar cakes, and after buying, he entered the dim sum shop next door, and when he finally came back, he didn't forget to bring a few packets of beef offal lo-mei.

"Taste it." Duan Baiyue said, "I can see people queuing up for this lo-mei every day, which should be very good." ”

"The owner of this shop used to be the imperial chef of the palace." Chu Yuan didn't use chopsticks, he pinched a piece of beef liver with his hand and ate it, "Later, I accidentally broke my leg, so I quit the palace and went to live in my hometown in Jiangnan for three years, but I was worried about my son and daughter-in-law in Wangcheng, who just came back a few years ago, and couldn't help but open this Bafang Lo Mei Restaurant." ”

"Remember it so clearly?" Duan Baiyue was unexpected.

"Taste it." Chu Yuan said, "You should like it." ”

Duan Baiyue casually took a piece of beef tendon and threw it into her mouth, nodding: "It's really good." ”

"Just good?" Chu Yuan looked at him.

"Huh?" Duan Baiyue thought for a while: "Otherwise, I will praise a few more words?" Crisp but not rotten, moderate fat and thin, red and bright color, melt in the mouth. ”

Duan Yao and Nan Mo Xie swallowed saliva in unison next door, slightly hungry and thirsty.

Chu Yuan shook his head and said, "When you were eight years old, you entered the palace and said that you liked to eat this, and you also said that you would send a cook from the Southwest Mansion to learn in the future." ”

Duan Baiyue: "......"

"I knew you forgot." Chu Yuan said idly, "You are not allowed to eat today." ”

"A plate of lo-mei from more than ten years ago, it won't be an unforgivable sin to forget, right?" Duan Baiyue moved a chair and sat beside him, "Well, I haven't forgotten any important things. ”

"For example?" Chu Yuan asked.

"For example, one day we will go back to the southwest together." Duan Baiyue said, "You promised me at that time. ”

"Huh?" Chu Yuan learned from him to support his cheeks, "I can't remember, I forgot." ”

"I didn't forget it." Duan Baiyue helped him blow the cold oil cake, "It's a little hot, eat it slowly." ”

"What's that?" Chu Yuan saw a pile of scattered cloth bags in the corner of the wall.

Duan Baiyue said: "A disguised thing." "After all, the royal city is not as good as other realms, and there are many officials who know themselves, so in order to avoid accidents, it is better to be careful.

Chu Yuan took a closer look at his face.

Duan Baiyue smiled: "It's okay, the skin is rough and the flesh is thick, it's different from you." ”

"Is it worth it?" Chu Yuan asked.

Duan Baiyue said: "It's worth." ”

Chu Yuan looked at him, but he didn't know what he should say for a moment, he was also a frontier king, but even walking on the street was a luxury, was it really worth it?

"I'm thinking nonsense again." Duan Baiyue sighed, reached out and pinched his chin, "It's all said, don't regret what happened back then." ”

Chu Yuan's voice was very low: "Nowadays, when I mention you today, it is all infamy." ”

"Who said that there was no princess who wanted to marry me a while ago." Duan Baiyue didn't care, "Besides, what can you scold, going back and forth is nothing more than wolf ambition and plotting." If I cared about that, I was eating too many worms. ”

Chu Yuan didn't speak, still distracted. In the past ten years, the two have used each other, and they have also relied on each other for life and death, they have said too many things and done too many things, and they no longer know what he thinks in his heart. Even now, I occasionally feel in a trance, feeling that I can't see the person in front of me clearly, and I can't see the road in the future.

"Why is it so quiet next door?" Duan Yao didn't know the bottom in her heart.

Nan Mo Xie "shh

Duan Baiyue also frowned, looking at him with some concern: "What's wrong?" ”

Chu Yuan stroked his cheek with one hand and kissed him with his eyes closed.

Outside the door, Duan Yao's face was full of excitement, and he also crept over like a master, ready to listen to the corner, but was taken by Nan Moxie from his neck and forcibly pulled back to the room.

The little doll can't see it, and if you kiss it, you have to learn badly.

The touch on his lips was too real, and there seemed to be something in his mind, Duan Baiyue was stunned for a moment, and then he grabbed his waist and pressed the person against the wall.

Chu Yuan just looked at him and didn't speak.

Duan Baiyue's eyes were a little bloodshot, and she didn't know what to think in her heart. But he never thought that one day he would take the initiative to cross the fragile line that the two of them had carefully concealed for so many years.

Even if it's just this moment, it's good not to think about it, knowing that after an impulse, it may be a catastrophe, and I don't want to care about it anymore. Duan Baiyue lowered her head and kissed the person in her arms deeply, Chu Yuan's eyelashes trembled, and the tip of his tongue was soft and hot, like dodging more like pandering.

I can't tell how long it took for Duan Baiyue to let go of her arm a little, but she was reluctant to let the person go, and got close to her again.

Chu Yuan stretched out his hand to push him away, and the roots of his ears were a little red.

It was quiet inside the room.

After a while, Chu Yuan said, "I'm going back to the palace." ”

Duan Baiyue said: "Don't want me anymore?" ”

Chu Yuan: "......"

Duan Baiyue chuckled, stepped forward and pulled the person into his arms: "Sit for a while, I'll send you back." ”

"Let's go meet Gu Yunchuan tonight." Chu Yuan said, "He may really have something important to look for you." ”

"Okay." Duan Baiyue agreed.

The laughter of the people came from the window, and there were hundreds of lotus lanterns floating on the river, swaying and meandering into a string.

Chu Yuan stood beside the bed, looking at the light.

"Make a wish?" Duan Baiyue hugged him from behind, "Maybe it will really come true." ”

Chu Yuan said: "I wish you peace and happiness in this life." ”

Duan Baiyue shook her head: "It's not me, it's us." ”

Chu Yuan held his hand around his waist, slowly interlocked his fingers, and leaned back into his arms.

On the riverside, Liu Dajiong was eating osmanthus dumplings with Tao Rende, and naturally it was paid by Master Taifu.

"Next time, I will find the emperor to approve the excerpts, and you will offer your grandson a treasure." Liu Dajiong complained, "Don't implicate the innocent." ”

"Isn't your head fresh, just croaking to the ground, the emperor hasn't seen it yet, I'm worried about it." Tao Rende said, "My grandson makes trouble in the palace every day, and the emperor has a headache once he goes." ”

"You have sinned greatly." Liu Dajiong said, "Our emperor was originally reluctant to accept the concubine draft, if he saw a pleasing doll, maybe he could change his mind, and now it will be more and more useless." ”

"I'm sorry to say me." Tao Rende dropped the spoon of rice balls, "You tell people every day, and you don't see one for the emperor." ”

"That's our emperor, how can ordinary people afford it." Liu Dajiong Zhenzhen said, "The first time to return to the concubine, let alone be outstanding in appearance and noble in birth, but also know the cold and the hot and know the advance and retreat, you can tell me, how many families in this royal city can be worthy?" ”

Tao Rende shook his head again and again: "There is no one in the royal city, then go outside to find it." It's just going to go to the Beixing Palace in a while, you take a closer look along the way, my eyelids have been jumping recently, maybe there is really a marriage. ”

"Listen to the advice of the official, your eyelids are jumping, because you have done too much to do things, how can you have the ability to jump out of marriage." Liu Dajiong's face was full of disgust, "Besides, look at this spot on your head, don't give our emperor a pockmarked face." ”

Tao Rende felt that sooner or later, he would be angry with this matchmaker.

Duan Baiyue also happened to be asking, "Beixing Palace?" ”

"Hmm." Chu Yuan nodded, "Every year at this time, I go to live there for a while. To see the people along the way, and also change the boundary to broaden your horizons, it is a rule set by my father. After speaking, he paused and smiled again, "But I always think that he thinks it is too hot in this royal city, so he finds an excuse to escape the heat." ”

Duan Baiyue said: "Yunde City is located in the deep mountains, and it is indeed much cooler than here. ”

"What about you?" Chu Yuan asked, "Do you want to go back to the southwest?" ”

Duan Baiyue said: "Don't go back." ”

"After coming out for so long, aren't you afraid of border chaos?" Chu Yuan turned his head to look at him.

Duan Baiyue said: "When you see it with your own eyes, you will know that the southwest border is probably the most stable border in Dachu, and it can be suppressed by force alone. Previously, the seventy-two villages in Miaojiang were divided into camps, and they were intriguing and poisoning each other every day, just to compete for that little bit of house rations. Now after reunification, everyone has a house to live in and a field to cultivate, and the southwest government will give rewards from time to time, and life is good. They are no more ambitious than those bandits and wolves in Mobei, even if they are united, they can't turn over the big storms, and they can't even get out of the southwest, let alone Wangcheng, so why bother to be boring. ”

"You also have a day when you talk about other people's wolf ambitions." Chu Yuan touched his chest with the back of his head.

"When I pull them up a big banner, you say that when the news reaches Wangcheng, will it scare that Tao Taifu?" Duan Baiyue asked.

Chu Yuan couldn't cry or laugh: "This can also be related to Master Taifu?" ”

"He scolds me every day, and you don't let me beat me." Duan Baiyue's chin rested on his shoulder, "I can only gossip." "It's very aggrieved.

Later, the people watching the lotus lanterns gradually began to disperse, and Duan Baiyue also sent Chu Yuan back to the palace.

Nan Mo Xie and Duan Yao were lying on the windowsill, and Yin Yin watched the backs of the two of them go away, almost leaning out most of their bodies.

You must stay in the palace tonight!

Sixi Gonggong was napping in front of the door of the dormitory, and when he heard the sound, he opened his eyes, and saw that both of them had returned, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

"During this time, has anyone come looking for me?" Chu Yuan asked.

"No, it's quiet." Sixi's father-in-law smiled, and the emperor went out with peace of mind in the future.

"Then get some rest." Duan Baiyue said, "I'll go see what's going on with Brother Gu, and then-"

"Then go back to the inn and rest." Chu Yuan patted his side cheek, "You haven't slept well in the past few days, and it's the middle of the night after tonight, so you are not allowed to run around anymore." ”

"It's fine." Duan Baiyue smiled, "Then I'll come back to see you tomorrow night." ”

Chu Yuan nodded, watching him jump over the courtyard wall and leave, he felt a little like laughing.

The movements are getting more and more proficient.

"Your Majesty." Seeing that he was in a good mood, Sixi was also happy, and said on the side, "Do you want to pass on hot water for bathing?" ”

"Let's wait a minute, it's still early." Chu Yuan said, "I'll go and see the excerpt again." ”

Four joys: "......"

Chu Yuan looked at him with a smile: "I know, I will come back to sleep earlier." ”

Sixi said yes again and again, and helped him to the imperial study.

The excerpts are still the same as before, and the things are still not less, Chu Yuan's mood is much better than yesterday, and he even has a smile on his face all the time.

Sixi's father-in-law is beside him, it seems that there must still be a king of the southwest.

Half an hour passed in a blink of an eye, Chu Yuan put down the wolf in his hand, and the father-in-law hurriedly said, "The emperor wants to go back to the palace?" ”

Chu Yuan pressed his stomach and said, "Pass some food." ”

Sixi's father-in-law didn't react at first glance, but then he came back to his senses and hurriedly said, "What does the emperor want to use?" ”

"Anything is good, the sooner the better." Chu Yuan's chin rested on the dragon case, "Hungry." "Although I bought a lot of braised beef in oil cake in the inn, I didn't eat much at all, and I didn't feel it when I first returned to the palace.

Sixi's father-in-law trotted down and ordered, and after a while, an attendant brought a food box, and when he opened it, it was the porridge and side dishes that Chu Yuan had often eaten before, as well as a sweet soup and a tea-flavored snack.

"The emperor uses it slowly." Sixi laid out the dishes and chopsticks for him.

Chu Yuan asked, "Is there any meat?" ”

Four joys: "......"

Yes?

The cook in the imperial dining room hurriedly caught fire, the ribs were chopped loudly, the broth was fragrant, and the little eunuchs around were swallowing saliva. The hot dishes were sent to the imperial study, and the imperial chef was sincerely afraid, saying that he was in a hurry and had no time to cook big dishes, and asked the emperor to forgive him.

Chu Yuan took a bite of the purse fish maw and said, "It's good, reward." ”

The imperial chef smiled instantly, and after thanking him, he followed the waiter out of the imperial study.

Sixi waited beside him, watching Chu Yuan eat fish and meat, gnawed seven or eight ribs and didn't stop chopsticks, and said that he wanted to eat red stewed deer hooves. So I wondered in my heart, this king of the southwest took people out, and he didn't give him food to eat, but he saw that the emperor was hungry.

……

This night, Chu Yuan was alone and ate the meal with the best appetite.

In the Dyeing Moon Building, Gu Yunchuan was stroking the piano by the railing, and Duan Baiyue leaned on the pillar and said: "Look at Brother Gu's technique is so smooth, I think that after a while, I will be able to pick up customers." ”

Gu Yunchuan's men were beaten, and one string was broken.

Duan Baiyue sat across from him.

Gu Yunchuan's eyes were puzzled, and he looked at his waist: "What about the prince's Cloud Splitting Knife?" ”

"It's for Yao'er." Duan Baiyue poured herself a glass of wine.

Give it to Yao'er, but why hang such a piece of broken iron in your waist? Gu Yunchuan couldn't help it, and asked, "Can you ...... this?" The sword, borrowed in the next view? ”

Duan Baiyue said neatly: "No." ”

Gu Yunchuan: "......"

"What's the matter with me?" Duan Baiyue asked.

"It's related to the Heavenly Brake Sect." Gu Yunchuan replied.

Duan Baiyue paused and looked up at him.

"I went to Menglanzhou to look for old friends this time, and when I came back, I passed by the southwest." Gu Yunchuan said, "After Lan Ji was killed, the Tiansha Sect was like a plate of loose sand, and the rest of the junior disciples needless to say, they had already rolled up their burdens and looked for their own way. The four protectors in the sect also had no intention of staying, and after each took the property, they set fire to the Tiansha Sect Palace. I thought that this matter would end here, but I didn't expect that some time ago, the four Dharma Protectors were all killed. ”

"By whom?" Duan Baiyue asked.

Gu Yunchuan said: "Lan Ji." ”

Duan Baiyue's brows furrowed suddenly.

"Or rather, Lan Ji's unjust soul." Gu Yunchuan said, "The other three were all killed by one move, and their chests were turned black and turned out, looking like the white bone claws that Lan Ji practiced on weekdays. After the news came out, the people in the rivers and lakes knew that something was wrong, so they wanted to save the fourth Dharma protector first, but who knew that it was also a step too late, and they only had time to hear her last sentence, saying that the person who asked for her life was Lan Ji.

Duan Baiyue said: "She was seriously injured and fell off the cliff that day, and she still has her life?" ”

"That's why I said it, maybe it's a ghost." Gu Yunchuan raised his eyebrows, "All the rivers and lakes in the southwest are investigating, and I heard that even the Sun Moon Villa is going to send people, so I didn't join in the fun, I came back first and told you about it." ”

Duan Baiyue nodded: "Thank you." ”

"If she hadn't provoked the Southwest Mansion, the prince wouldn't have interfered in this matter." Gu Yunchuan said, "I also asked this time, although Menglanzhou is located in the South China Sea, few people have heard of Tianchensha, and it is uncertain whether it can be found." How poisonous the golden silkworm thread is, don't be careless. ”

Duan Baiyue smiled: "Now I'm like a sick seedling, everyone has to think about asking for medicine for me when they come to a new place." ”

"It's rare to see such an interesting friend as Lord Wang, it is better to live a few more years if you can live a few more years." Gu Yunchuan poured him full of wine, "If it's okay tonight, I will stay in this dyed moon building to drink the bar, it is not as good as the prince's own brewing, but it has also been cellared for more than ten years." ”

Duan Baiyue nodded: "Okay." ”

Gu Yunchuan clinked glasses with him: "Get married earlier." ”

Duan Baiyue: "......"

"Ahem." Gu Yunchuan said, "It's not a secret, when I passed by the Southwest Mansion this time, Aunt Jin pulled me and talked about it for most of the day, saying that she was looking forward to the prince marrying his daughter-in-law Yan Xianghuo every day, and her eyes were blind from crying." ”

Duan Baiyue: "......"

Inside the inn, Duan Yao was so sleepy that she still insisted on refusing to sleep, and wanted to listen to the story of the elder brother who was a love saint.

The husband walked by by striking a gong on the street, and Nanmo slapped his hands fiercely.

I didn't come back this time, so it can be seen that I stayed.

Finally, there is no insult to the teacher.

Early in the morning of the second day, Duan Baiyue returned to his residence and saw Nan Moxi and Duan Yao both lying on the table, sleeping soundly.

……

"Brother." Hearing the sound, Duan Yao got up in a daze.

"Why do you want to sleep here?" Duan Baiyue frowned.

"We talked for too long, and before I knew it, I fell asleep." Duan Yao yawned vigorously.

"What are you talking about?" Duan Baiyue sat at the table.

Duan Yao and Nan Mo said in unison: "Talk about how big the pomp will be when you get married in the future." "After all, that's the emperor.

Duan Baiyue stuffed a spoon into her brother's mouth.

Duan Yao sighed: "This fell to the ground last night!" ”

"Nonsense." Duan Baiyue stood up, "Go back to sleep." ”

Nanmo asked expectantly, "Do you want to boil a red egg?" ”

Duan Yao's face was flushed, and she was ready to inform Xiao Er excitedly.

Duan Baiyue sat on the edge of the bed: "I was in the Dyeyue Building last night. ”

"Dyeing Moon Building is good, the things are complete." Nanmo slapped his thigh.

Duan Yao consciously covered his ears, he didn't know what an object was, and he hadn't peeked at the little script at all, but it was pure.

Duan Baiyue said: "With Brother Gu." ”

Duan Yao said disappointedly: "Huh? ”

Nanmo's smile froze on his face.

Duan Baiyue was too lazy to speak, pulled out the iron from his waist, and drove the two out.

Duan Yao squatted in the corridor, holding her cheeks with both hands, and sighed with her master.

"Alas!"

After a few more days, Chu Yuan really drove out of the palace and went all the way east to the northbound palace of Yunde City.

In order to observe the people's feelings along the way, naturally they will not be in a hurry, stop and go along the way, and only arrive at the next city in three days. The carriage stopped at the post house, and Chu Yuan pushed open the door of his room, and saw a large bouquet of flowers on the table, and he didn't know where he got it.

Duan Baiyue leaned against the roof beam, looking at him and laughing.

"Come down." Chu Yuan stretched out his hand.

Duan Baiyue turned over and jumped to the ground: "Why is it so late, I have been wandering around the city for a day." ”

"The heat on the road made everyone rest for a while." Chu Yuan wiped his sweat with his sleeve, "It's also hot in this room, and the ice cubes won't be delivered until later, so you don't know how to wait outside." ”

Duan Baiyue smiled: "I was really on the tree before, but a group of little dolls and monkeys came to climb the tree and were almost discovered." ”

"The dignified king of the southwest, hiding from a group of little dolls." Chu Yuan patted his chest, "Shame." ”

Duan Baiyue held his hand, and was just about to get close to his relatives, but there was someone outside the room: "Your Majesty." ”

Chu Yuan pushed him away immediately.

Duan Baiyue asked, "Can I go out and beat him?" ”

Chu Yuan said: "No. ”

You can't be beaten, you have to be beaten. The king of the southwest squatted on the beam of the house and watched Tao Rende enter the house.

In his previous life, he should have owed this old man a lot of things.

"It's been a tiring journey, and Master Taifu won't stop." Chu Yuan said, "Something to do with me?" ”

"Back to the emperor, there is." Tao Rende said, "There is a Yuelao Temple near this post house-"

"Master Taifu." Chu Yuan interrupted him in displeasure.

"The emperor listened to the minister." Tao Rende sped up his words and said, "This month, the old temple is very effective, and the day after tomorrow happens to be the begging festival, so there are a lot of brocade handkerchiefs hung in front of the marriage tree, and they are all stitches and threads of the daughter's family in the boudoir——"

"Four joys!" Chu Yuan said loudly.

"Your Majesty." Sixi's father-in-law trotted in.

"Send Master Taifu back." Chu Yuan commanded.

Tao Rende wanted to say something, but Chu Yuan had already entered the inner room.

"Master Taifu, let's go." Sixi's father-in-law whispered in his ear, "Don't upset the emperor, I'll talk about it later." ”

Tao Rende sighed in his heart, thanked him and withdrew.

Liu Dajiong held his hands and watched a good show under the tree.

I knew that I would definitely be kicked out.

He also said that his eyelids were jumping, and there was a good thing.

What a fart.

"Look, you won't let me beat him." Duan Baiyue squatted in front of him.

Chu Yuan sat on the edge of the bed, looking at him and didn't know whether to be angry or laugh.

Duan Baiyue asked, "Yuelao Temple, do you want to go?" I'll take you. ”

"No, no." Chu Yuan withdrew his hand.

Duan Baiyue got up and sat down next to him: "It's all said that it's very effective, let's go secretly, take a look and come back." ”

"Do you like to watch it so much?" Chu Yuan grabbed his ears.

"Maybe I can really ask for a marriage." Duan Baiyue hugged the person into his arms, "At least there is a red line together, huh?" ”

Chu Yuan rested his chin on his shoulder and said lazily, "Hmm." ”
